Drucilla "Dru" Smith
July 2, 1933 – September 28, 2025
Age 92
Drucilla Smith, lovingly known as "Dru," passed away peacefully at her home on September 28, 2025, at the age of 92. Her "favorite grandson" was by her side in her final moments.
Dru is survived by her beloved brothers, Johnny Shiver and Norman Shiver; her grandchildren, Jeremy Bass and Michelle Bass; and her cherished great-grandchild, Evelyn Bass. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
A true force to be reckoned with, Dru's grit and determination inspired everyone who knew her. Where others saw roadblocks, she made a way. With limited means but limitless will, she built a home that welcomed all—a safe haven filled with warmth, love, and the aroma of shared meals. Whether it was a simple grilled cheese or a full-course dinner, countless memories were made around her table.
Dru worked for many years at Dollar General, and outside of work, she poured her heart into her home and her beloved flower beds. Her life was a testament to perseverance, faith, and quiet strength. She worshiped God with joy, danced through the hard times, and lived with love and purpose.
Though she lived simply, Dru impacted lives profoundly. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew her, and in the countless stories of love, laughter, and resilience she leaves behind.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 3 p.m. in the Wilson Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Thursday from 2-3 p.m. prior to the service. Interment will follow in the Callaway Cemetery.
She will be deeply missed but joyfully remembered.
